One happy feature of Google+ as compared to other social networks is that it supports animated GIFs fairly well. Why does it matter? Well, because that's the most popular format for moving pictures in the world today. A bit more detail on my blog.﻿

Join us at 4 p.m. EST today for a Google+ video hangout with +Sam Grobart and +Jenna Wortham from our Tech section. We'll have room for you to enter the hangout with them, but we'll ask you to make room for others, too, after a while. Sam and Jenna will be chatting about all things tech... including what we're calling "Turkey Tech" in the lead-up to Thanksgiving. We hope you'll join in and watch this first of our NYTG+ video hangouts.﻿

+Jenna Wortham catches us up on what's happening on this here social networking service, including the unexpected popularity of +Mark Zuckerberg , even though he's given most of us nothing to look at but his mug shot. (Just noticed that 10,000 more people put him in a circle overnight.)﻿
